I went with: Brembo rotors all around 288mm front and 232mm rear Tyrol Sport Front Brake Stiffening kit DFC track pads(similar to Hawk HP) I still need to do SS lines and a fluid change, but my car stops very well for street driving. I will be swapping my pads for Hawk Performance Ceramic's though only due to brake dust.
After that, you can run generally whatever universal coolant you'd like. I do a universal Prestone and have no cooling problems. I live at the beach and drive my stage 2 Jetta 2.5L pretty hard.
I ordered (from Rock Auto) some NGK spark plugs (#95463) advertised as being "OE Series." This supposedly means they are built to match the OE specifications.
I had a 2009 Jetta diesel that used a bit of oil until it hit 60000 miles, then it stopped and did not use ANY between the 8000 mile intervals I used.
Starters don\u2019t generally \u201cslow down\u201d with age, really. You\u2019ll just find that one day it quits working. I had a failed starter on a 2002 Jetta, probably at around 290-300k miles
Located in AZ. I called multiple places and the average was around $1,500 for both water pump and timing belt (dealership was over $3,000 which is insane).
I got lucky as one shop was doing a special for timing belt changes and I got both serviced for $950.
New Oil pump is in and will fill it tomorrow.
I have a 2014 Jetta 1.8TSI CPRA in my shop with 115Kmi and a broken timing chain. It's the first I've seen but still a sign of possible trouble with the T-chain on these engines.
This happened to my 2019 vw jetta recently so i got the ignition switch replaced because it displayed check starter system after I let it sit in direct heat for a few hours. Everything was fine for a few weeks until the other day I was getting a haircut and let the car sit in the heat for only 2 hours in 105 degree weather and when I got in the car I turned it on (it turned on fine) then after about a minute all the electric in the car shut of such as a/c, radio, headlights etc and it displayed check starter system again but the car still let me drive home. Anyone know what can be the issue?
2012 Jetta GLI - 94K miles (I bought at 50K). Two water pumps, one heater core, and carbonized valves. Not my best experience.
